I missed your PIP but while the print on the top in the link is not my favorite, I can picture it being cute. I've got a high-waisted black maxi skirt that I would totally wear that style with. In fact, I do own and wear a crop top (not corset-style though) with long skirts.
I got way to angry at my kids tonight and I feel like shit. DH is working so I had the kids.. I was trying to make dinner and tend to Leo.. DS and DD were outside playing in puddles. DS took his BRAND NEW SNEAKERS and literally put them in the puddle. DD took her pink cowgirl boots and did the same. (they are 8 and 6) so when they came in they were filty.. I told them right up for a shower, well DD just jumps on my couch soaking wet. Shows me his dripping sneakers and when I said that he ruined them he said "that's okay you can just buy me more'
Cue Insane tirade here. OMG I lost it. I yelled at them that they don't appreciate what they have, that they are irresponsible with their stuff etc how hard Daddy and I work to give them what they have and they don't appreciate it etc.. They cried and said they were sorry..
They both go upstairs to take showers and I hear DD say to DS "I think mommy doesn't like us as much anymore.. she loves Leo best". OMG
I felt awful. had a heart to heart with both of them about how much I love them and I know they are smart and responsible but that they have to take better care of their stuff. I felt and still feel like shit. Its sneakers and old cowgirl boots and they were having fun.
Bad mom
You aren't a bad mom. My parents reacted the same way to similar things I did as a kid and I'm a well adjusted adult now. In fact I recently thanked my mom for doing a good job raising me. My mom said she did the best she could and when she knew better she did better. So cut yourself some slack and resolve to do better next time. From what I've read of you you sound like a great mom who loves her kids.
I had someone ask today when I was due I was mortified. I think she really felt bad when she found out about my hysterectomy next week. She sent me a fb message tonight saying how embarrassed she felt. I'm a but bummed out. I know I have some extra on my tummy since I gained a little weight and still have twin skin. But dude, I never thought I still looked pregnant and due soon
